Our Social Security Blind Spots

That "Lock Box" was transferred to the general fund so we could piss it away on Vietnam. That way we could have "guns and butter".

But the whole question is moot. I mean really, when you reach that age you're living on dividends from your portfolio, and trying to figure out how to avoid taxes while setting up trust-funds for your heirs, so that SS pittance won't make any difference. Why should we have to worry about the help that's no longer of use to us.
